> ProxyHandler does not check the protocol of requests.
> -> On our development servers, a request to proxy "file://[some big logfile]" successfully tied up the server for 30 seconds of cpu time. 
>     (The request was not passed back to the client, but this bug opens up a possibility for dos attack)
> Patch submitted simply checks that the requested url includes http, https or ftp protocols if a protocol is specified.
